OpenEdit

If you were directed to this website via the openedit.org site, you've noticed some major changes or edits to that site! The openedit.org website will be used to post links to web applications which are built using OpenEdit. If you have applications ... [More] built using OpenEdit, be sure to let Chris Burkey know. On this website, we will be offering a Blog/Forum/Twitter-like area for developers, users, and even specific users of digital asset management such as photographers, creative services managers and so forth. For now, feel free to post on the user forum on the openeditdam front page. As soon as we have our new Blog/Forum/Twitter-like area (we'll come up with a name for it!) online, we'll let everyone know!   Julie [Less]

We think that Java is the best tool for Enterprises, that’s why we use Java and Object Orientated development to build OpenEdit. We feel that choice has been advantageous by allowing our team to re-use and constantly refactor our code for over a ... [More] decade without ever starting over. Our competitors who are using PHP, Perl and proprietary software systems such as Microsoft, seem to have to re-architect every few years to avoid endless mounds of confusing spaghetti code or to adapt to new technology such as Ajax. Java has been great for our clients and OpenEdit. Agree or disagree, what are your thoughts? The OpenEdit developer website can be found at http://www.openedit.org and our website devoted to OpenEdit DAM and CMS is http://www.openeditDAM.com [Less]

The one thing we would change is to package our product better. We want to make multiple flavors of OpenEdit DAM that match the needs of certain groups of clients. We believe in permission marketing within software. What that means is if a customer ... [More] gives us permission to sell them something then we should provide a version of OpenEdit Digital Asset Management that is tailored to their needs. For instance, OpenEdit comes with all of our feature sets but narrowing down or expanding those features for specific types of users will make OpenEdit more appealing to that audience. As an example, we have a solution available online today, it’s directed toward large marketing departments but we also want to make an eCommerce flavor of OpenEdit that is packaged for photographers to sell prints of photos online. What sort of OpenEdit package would you like to see? [Less]

The New York Times posted an interesting article about the growing demand for Digital Archivists. Wonder how many of them will use OpenEdit Digital Asset Management?!

If I want to use one layout, what is the best way to conditionalize or vary the META tags within the layout? I saw this in the documentation - where do you use it? 2. <title>$!content.title</title> A $content represents the page ... [More] that the user is looking at. For example /index.html would be a content page. The layout will pull the title for a page from a property in the xconf files. The property needs to be named "title" for example:     <property name="title">Welcome!</property>     Thank you. [Less]

We are running a Java Server Faces (JSF) web application that we would like to integrate a shopping cart module into. How easy is it to integrate your product into an existing JSF web site? Also, I couldn't find on the site how your eCommerce application connects to a database. Will it integrate with an Oracle database? Thanks.

We have rolled out a new release version in response to the problems faced by several users with the last release.  The main issues addressed in this release are: -Default Administrator permissions have been configured to allow access to the Asset ... [More] Editor tool. -New folders created within the Asset Editor will now correctly display as folders. -The upload tool in the Asset Editor will now correctly unzip files when instructed to do so. -Clicking on an asset in the Asset Editor will now give you the option to open that asset in other tools.   You can download the new release from our Download Page.  The instructions on this page have been improved, and windows users should note the need to rename ImageMagick's convert.exe to imconvert.exe in order to get around a conflict with a built-in Windows command.
